Why Career Compass Exists
Career Compass was born from the belief that professional growth shouldn’t end when you land the job, it should evolve with every career chapter. Dr. Tracy Shroyer launched Career Compass after decades in the corporate world, witnessing firsthand how many capable professionals felt stuck, unseen, or underutilized in their roles.
She saw a need for short, high-impact learning experiences that help people navigate career changes, reignite confidence, and move forward with clarity. Career Compass became that space, a modern learning platform designed to help individuals gain momentum and thrive.
